<sup>68</sup>Ga-PSMA (prostate-specific membrane antigen) PET/CT is increasingly used in men with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) failure after radical prostatectomy (RP) to triage those who will benefit from salvage radiation treatment (SRT). This study examines the value of PSMA-informed SRT improving outcomes context biochemical RP. <b>Methods:</b> We analyzed rising PSA RP readings between 0.05 and 1.0 ng/mL, considered eligible for at time PSMA. For each patient, clinical pathologic...
<sup>68</sup>Ga-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT is increasingly used in men with biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP), but its longer-term prognostic or predictive potential these unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the value PSMA PET for a 3-y freedom from progression (FFP) BCR RP undergoing salvage radiotherapy (sRT). <b>Methods:</b> This prospective multicenter enrolled 260 between 2015 and 2017. Eligible patients were referred...
Our aim was to evaluate whether transperineal (TP) MRI-targeted prostate biopsy (TBx) may improve the detection of clinically significant cancer (csPCa), defined as International Society Urological Pathology ≥2, in comparison transrectal (TR) TBx.A multicenter retrospective cohort study comprising patients who underwent MRI-guided conducted. To address possible benefits TP-TBx (PCa) and csPCa, a undergoing were compared TR-TBx. Multivariable logistic regression analyses performed assess...
Objective To determine the value of gallium‐68‐prostate‐specific membrane antigen ( 68 Ga‐PSMA)‐11 positron emission tomography (PET) /computed (CT) in men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer. Patients and methods We analysed results 140 intermediate‐ high‐risk All underwent Ga‐ PSMA ‐11 PET / CT multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp MRI) before radical prostatectomy RP ) extended pelvic lymph node (LN) dissection. For each patient, clinical pathological features were recorded....
Abstract Objectives To identify the rate of clinically significant post-embolisation syndrome (csPES) in our cohort patients after uterine artery embolisation for symptomatic fibroids, and to risk factors associated with development csPES. Methods Retrospective case-control study. All that underwent fibroids between 18-month period 1 March 2022 September 2023 were recruited. csPES was defined as maximum pain score on visual analogue scale &gt; 5 out 10, plus at least one of: morphine...
Background: Contemporary risk calculators underestimate coronary artery disease (CAD) in women. Breast arterial calcification (BAC) associates with CAD. Low breast density (BD) (greater adipose tissue) cardiometabolic disease. Both are readily identifiable on screening mammography. We sought to evaluate the association between combined features of BD, BAC, and Methods: retrospectively studied women clinically indicated mammography contemporaneous computed tomography angiography. CAD was...
Abstract Objective To assess European Association of Urology (EAU) risk groups for biochemical recurrence (BCR) prostate cancer relative to prostate‐specific membrane antigen‐positron emission tomography (PSMA‐PET) status and oncological outcomes. Patients Methods A retrospective analysis a study that incorporated PSMA‐PET men with BCR after radical prostatectomy (RP) was undertaken. EAU were considered clinical variables, findings, deployment salvage radiotherapy (SRT). The primary outcome...
Objective: To determine the predictive and diagnostic value of 68Ga-HBEDD PSMA-11 positron emission tomography (PET)/CT (prostate-specific membrane antigen, PSMA) for surgical response in males with prostate cancer prior to radical prostatectomy. Methods: We analysed results 142 staging PSMA prostatectomy (RP). Data collected included PET/CT, bone scan (30/142), mpMRI (112/142), pathological T stage (pT) stage, Gleason score, margins lymph node status at RP. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA)...
Objectives To examine the anatomical distribution of prostate cancer (PCa) recurrence on gallium‐68 prostate‐specific membrane antigen ( 68 Ga‐PSMA) positron‐emission tomography (PET)/computed (CT) in patients with biochemical (BCR) after undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) pathological lymph node metastasis (pN1) their extended pelvic dissection (ePLND), and to compare location PCa initial at ePLND. Materials Methods We retrospectively reviewed 100 BCR (PSA 0.05–5.00 ng/mL) RP pN1 ePLND...
18 F-Fludeoxyglucose PET-CT (FDG) is increasingly used to stage breast cancer. Most cancers express the Oestrogen Receptor (ER) and Progesterone (PR), this subtype demonstrates lower activity on FDG imaging. Somatostatin receptors (SSTR) offer a potentially improved radiotracer target for ER+ /PR+ We present first in vivo clinical study comparing 68 Ga-DOTATATE (DOTA) conventional imaging (bone scan diagnostic CT), metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative...
Varicocoele is commonly encountered in males with infertility. Studies have shown that varicocoele repair (surgery or embolisation) can improve the rate of subsequent pregnancy. In Australia, there been no studies assessing cost embolisation and current practice based on international data. This study aimed to assess estimate treatment per
Computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) is under-utilised in detecting artery disease (CAD) obese patients due to concerns about non-evaluable testing. We hypothesise that these are predominantly related smaller and branch vessels, CTCA remains adequate for proximal segment stenosis interpretation, which has significant clinical implications. This retrospective cohort study, on consecutive referred suspected CAD, grouped by body mass index. A 4-point Likert scale assessed image...
In response to the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, it has been argued that pleural decompression (PD) is an aerosol-generating procedure (AGP) and personal protective equipment (PPE) provides adequate protection. Droplet transmission occurs when infectious droplets, generally greater than 5–10 μm, come in contact with another person's mucosa. Conversely, airborne via droplet nuclei or aerosols. An aerosol a suspension of particles (such as liquid solid particle) within...
Background: Splenic laceration is the most common injury following blunt abdominal trauma. The characterized by presence of parenchymal laceration; however, vascular lesions may also be seen such as pseudoaneurysms. Multiple pseudoaneurysms are rare complication. Delayed treatment traditionally with splenectomy, small case series use embolization have been described. Case Presentation: A 29-year-old female presented left upper quadrant pain 22 days after a motor vehicle accident; she was...
Acute gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is associated with morbidity and mortality. There can be a low threshold for practitioners to assess active GIB computed tomography angiography (CTA) examinations are performed frequently, even stable patients those who therapeutically anticoagulated. We aimed the predictive value of CTA acute influence on treatment.Retrospective single-centre study over 2-year period.A total 227 mean age 67.7 years (SD 17.86), 58.6% male. 84.4% were lower GIB. 49...
